Understanding your health and behaviours is the critical first step to taking control of your wellbeing and resilience. That's why we value the learning and enrichment that happens when each of us set out to not only improve our own health, but role model healthy behaviours to others.

We believe it is important to: Develop the skills needed to successfully adapt to challenges. Learn self-management techniques proven to help manage things like stress. Understand things about ourselves like decision-making fatigue, boundary setting, and our 'portfolio' of coping skills.

Our health, wellbeing, and resilience is not tested when things are going well, but rather when we are faced with challenges and hardship. Through research, collaboration, and demonstration we are striving to not only understand what drives and underpins health, wellbeing, and attitudes in rural Australia, but endeavour to action what we learn to improve these qualities.

We work hard with our network of collaborators to deploy health and wellbeing programs into rural communities. These programs lay the foundation for the beginning of our participants' health and wellbeing journey where they learn what their mind and body needs, and how to fulfil these needs in everyday life.

We are working towards a healthy, happy, and supportive rural Australia that stands together against preventable illness; both physical and mental. Through our health and wellbeing programs, we hope to inspire people to take action and care for their own health and wellbeing, rather than neglect and act when something goes wrong.

By demonstrating the benefits of proactive health to individuals and communities we hope to influence mindset and attitudes towards taking care of one's self. With enough participants, we believe that these people will become shining examples among community members, both young and old, of what it means to value health and wellbeing.
